Beginning Sept. 12, the Design Home, The Concordia at 245 Humphrey St., opens its doors to the public for four weeks of tours.

The creation of design coordinators Jerry Rippetoe
and Tony Sienicki
of tj’s at the Sign of the Goose, developer Barry Turkanis,
and Bruce Paradise
of Paradise Construction, the house showcases products from the Greater Boston design community.

As design coordinators, Rippetoe and Sienicki aimed to combine timeless pieces and newer accents to evoke feelings of relaxation and luxury. The house also features jewel tones, to complement the water views.

In conjunction with the interior, architect Robert Zarelli
designed the home to reflect the classic architectural elements of Swampscott’s turn-of-the-century seaside resorts.

The house is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays; and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursdays through Oct. 7. .

Tickets are $25, with all proceeds benefiting the Peabody location of Children’s Hospital.

A WORKADAY WORLD: An exhibit highlighting 150 years of work and the workforce in America, as well as prominent industries in Haverhill, is at the Buttonwoods Museum of the Haverhill Historical Society
through Oct. 6.

Adapted from an original exhibition developed by the National Archives and Records Administration
, the exhibit traces changes that have affected the workforce and work environments, including the rapid growth of manufacturing and increasing use of technology.

It includes historical photographs, archival accounts of workers, film, audio, and interactive exhibits.

“We are very pleased to be able to bring ‘The Way We Worked’ to our area,” said Jan Williams,
curator of the Buttonwoods Museum. “It allows us the opportunity to explore this fascinating aspect of our own region’s history, and we hope that it will inspire many to become even more involved in the cultural life of our community.”

An overlay exhibit looks at many of Haverhill’s local employers.

“The Way We Worked” is part of Museum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, humanities councils across the nation, and host institutions.
